Reviews for The Ashe Hotel

Review 1：The staff were the friendliest staff I have meet in a hotel in a hell of a long time. I would highly recommend staying there. It was a great location and everything was clean and the room was very nice.

Review 2：Boring noisy and dull.

Review 3：This Hotel was originally the abbeygate and has had a few changes over recent years but still doesnt do it for me,bar food was great but then we had desert which was terrible,hotel is located in a dull dingy seedy part of tralee and the usual guests of screeming drunks still seem to use ,decor is all new but dull .There is far superior hotels in the town center and cost a lot less. NEVER AGAIN.

Review 4：The corridor at night was rather noisy with a hen party or similar up and down. Old fashion key on block for door instead of a modern credit card style key.

Review 5：Amazing breakfast! Best hashbrowns ever. While I prefer a separate shower rather than over bath shower I was impressed that it had a glass door rather than a shower curtain. Lovely big bed and easy to control dual pump aircon/heater

Review 6：The lobby was decorated beautifully the reception and bar staff were fabulous the bed was very comfortable the food wasnt top notch but it was nice (dinner) and we were delighted there was live music

Review 7：Room was hard to heat up on the 1st night.

Review 8：Décor was fresh and modern. Room was hard to heat up on the 1st night, but staff were understanding when we mentioned it when leaving and gave a discount

Review 9：A few hiccups in this very new property: one hook in the entire bathroom, had to phone reception to get the heat turned on, when I asked for help with my luggage I was told they could phone housekeeping and send someone up. I didn't quite understand that. But, they're still working out kinks and on the whole it's lovely and comfortable with a great location.

Review 10：Modern, comfortable rooms and a great location at an unbeatable price. Friendly staff.

Review 11：One issue I had was with the heating we arrived in the afternoon and later that day the room got quite chilly as the hating is on time. But as soon as I asked reception they put it on for us immediately without any issue

Review 12：The staff were so friendly they really made our stay. The hotel itself was in a perfect location in the heart of the town. We had dinner there and lunch and the food was also very good and reasonably priced I would have no problem recommending it to anyone :)

Review 13：Fantastic place to stay. The Decor and interior design is fab.food in bar bar was very reasonable with daily early bird specials. Staff more than helpful and friendly. Would stay here again.

Review 14：Very good hotel - staff great - extremely helpful and friendly. Good sized rooms. right in the middle of Tralee but quiet. Good breakfast - even had a gluten free section.

Review 15：The staff were the friendliest hotel staff i have ever met. We eat lunch in the hotel before check-in and it was very nice and breakfast the next morning was also very good too. I really cant understand how this hotel is only a 3* unbelievable. great value for money.

Review 16：Nicest room decor of a hotel I have stayed in. Good wifi throughout. Lovely bar with great ambiance for a chat with other business people. Really friendly staff. Kevin the manger is the nicest guy you will encounter. I will surely make it my mission to visit again when I'm in the area.

Review 17：A very warm greeting from all staff. Even the chamber mate was friendly. The location is excellent based just off the main street. The hotel has a really homely feel to it. The rooms are modern, well equipped(free Wifi) and very clean. There was an excellent choice for breakfast with a full Irish also thrown in. This is a hotel performing at the highest level of customer service and others could learn from how it.

Review 18：The bed must be memory foam and it got too hot to sleep at night.

Review 19：The staff are really great and so helpful. We arrived at 9.30 in the evening and they made us something to eat even though the kitchen was closed. Everyone we was so friendly and it was nice to get a cooked breakfast.

Review 20：Breakfast Service wasn't up to standard. Was waiting ages for the menu made several attempts to attract the staff but fail to make contact. Thought it would have worked better if you were escorted to your table asked if you would like Tea/Coffee. Just thought it could be improved because the rest of the hotel is excellent.

Review 21：Rooms were lovely and food just excellent

Review 22：No fan in bathroom made the mirror in it useless after a shower

Review 23：Excellent location just 3mins walk from town center. Newly refurbished. Staff very friendly and helpful especially Sarah who works both bar and breakfast service

Review 24：Cannot find anything I didn't like.

Review 25：Staff did not put us under pressure to vacate room on time. The porters service and standards should be recognised, he walked around with other residents to find parking spaces and then helped with both bags and children back to the hotel, well done guys. The breakfast was superb, everything you could possibly want to set you up for a day of walking (the shops or sightseeing)

Review 26：Loved the helpfulness of the staff. We didn't eat dinner there but friends of ours did and said it was amazing. My favourite part was the breakfast buffet all you could want. Also the rooms were so new and so clean

Review 27：Nothing to complain about.

Review 31：Really enjoyed my stay at the Ash. The staff were very friendly and nice. The room was clean and a nice size. The location is perfect as it is central to the town. Would highly recommend.

Review 32：Internet access spotty in our room. Most likely because the room was on an outer corner of the hotel

Review 33：Comfortable, big and clean rooms with nice simple decor

Review 34：Don't want to complain but breakfast finishing at 10 is too early. I missed it!

Review 35：I called ahead to say I would be checking in after midnight. When I arrived the staff knew who I was and greeted me by name. I was famished and withing 10 minutes of checking in a lovely sandwich was delivered to my room for a bargain price.

Review 36：No bad experience

Review 37：Reception staff were excellent , very warm welcome and very helpful finding a car space . Restaurant staff were extremely friendly nothing was a problem felt very at home

Review 40：Central location close to shops but quiet. Newly refurbished to high standard. Bedrooms very comfortable. Staff warm and welcomig

Review 46：Hard to fault this hotel. If they could add a gym in it would be great.

Review 47：This hotel wiped the floor with the likes of Fota & Maryborough Cork for customer service, food etc., The simple touches that didn't cost the hotel anything pays dividends in the end! Well done Ashe...

Review 48：Everything was fine but the parking spots were different with spaces separated by pipes coming up from the street. In the end it worked out okay when you got used to it.

Review 50：Nothing

Review 51：Arrive very early due to extremely bad weather just to enquire if it was ok to park at the hotel whilst going shoping in the rain but they said I could have one of the rooms already cleaned. It was only 11am .

Review 52：Brand new hotel with very friendly staff and the best comfortable beds in Ireland at the moment we have ever experienced, so the good night sleep is guaranteed.

Review 69：The cost for two nights was quiet high. To Expensive for me to be able to stay again & there was lots of noise &avert loud music as our room was almost directly over the front door. Maybe this was only because it was the weekend of the rose of Tralee !!

Review 99：Myself and my partner spent 3 nights here recently and cannot recommend it highly enough, the rooms were lovely airy and clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect just a 2 min walk to the middle of Tralee town. Breakfast included in the price which was very competitive.

Review 105：We received a parking ticket despite not parking yellow lines and not near bollards.We were not advised to park elsewhere despite having asked about parking.We had just gone inside to register when apparently a parking ticket was placed on our car.Guests need to be advised re parking on registration.Staff were nice.breakfast was basic.Give advise re parking on registration and ask that guests to park in hotel spaces only,otherwise arrange for adjacent parking.
